                            Just trying to wrap up some last minute stuff before my motor gets timed tomorrow.  Got around to getting my exhaust manifold studs in.  Used Brian's step-by-step procedure and it worked perfect.  A pinch of loctite and torqued to NGA Nm with jam nuts and they're done.

                            BD4F1596-8BA5-40C5-80C3-0A4BAD079238-105

                            Also some changes in the looks of things.

                            The bay is now charcoal grey, since I hated how the black looked.  Kinda going with a blue/grey theme to go with the car color and wheels.  We'll see how it actually looks.  Its a bit darker in person compared to the picture, but not by much.

                            5D676CE5-97E6-40BE-A488-3443E4B6AE9A-105

                            Also painted the valve cover.  I couldnt get all of the original finish off, so it looks like shit.  The point is it'll look good when the car is sliding with no hood on.

                            22242E49-77EE-4AA6-A9A1-4A8AC14ED6AD-105

                            Also, anyone have a tip or something to get the alternator pulley off when theres no belt on it?  Im looking to throw my TMS pulleys on tonight.

                                    Thanks yall.  I like it a lot more now that theres actually color. 

                                    As for the alt pulley, Ive read just using an impact with get it off.  So I'll give this a try later tonight.

                                      yes ,,, Impact gun in short bursts and it will come right off. 

                                      FYI -- Some of the pully/fan assemblies have a wood-ruff key ... I have managed to lose them 100% of the time so I am skeptical that they exist .. .like unicorns

                                        I remember removing more alternators without keys rather than with keys in my VW days. The compression of the nut against the pulley and shoulder on the shaft is generally enough to let it all work properly in absense of the key, luckily ACE hardware has keys that should fit in case you need one.
